How Liz was attracted to celebrancy 
Having worked in the film and television industry, voice overs, MC and high end fashion previously, to her, celebrancy was a natural progression.  She’s always enjoyed helping others and moving from teaching in Year one, learning support and learning enrichment environment, she felt it was time to help others in another stage of their life.  Our lives are created by memories and if she can make others memories joyous and truly memorable, that’s what makes her happy. 

A special moment in my celebrancy
Reconnecting with others gives Liz so much joy.  She recently married one of the mothers of two of her former students and to see those children and the family reunited was a personal joy and privilege.  Many more students are now coming back into her life and last year alone she officiated at three former students and a former colleague’s weddings.  The most pivotal and emotional, was at her own son’s wedding.
